How Early Should You Invite People to a Destination Wedding?

By Anna Duncan

Destination weddings are a great way to celebrate your special day while also taking a vacation! With the perfect location, dressed up attire, and perfect photoshoot ideas, these weddings are always a memorable event.

But one of the biggest questions on many couples’ minds is when to invite people to their destination wedding.

The first thing you should consider is how long it takes for guests to make travel arrangements. Depending on the destination and time of year, flights and hotels can be expensive and hard to find.

Therefore, you want to give your guests plenty of time to plan their trip. The general recommendation is to send out invites 8-10 months before the wedding date so that your guests have enough time to save up money and make travel arrangements.

Another factor to consider is if any of your guests will need visas or other documents in order to enter the country. If this is the case, they will need even more time in advance as visa applications can take weeks or months depending on the country’s protocols. You don’t want anyone missing out on your big day because they weren’t able to get their paperwork in order!

You also have to think about any special events you may be having leading up to or after the wedding day itself. If you’re hosting a welcome party or farewell brunch, it’s best to make sure all your invitees are aware of these events as well so they can plan accordingly.

In conclusion, when it comes to inviting people for a destination wedding there’s no hard and fast rule. However, giving guests ample time (8-10 months) for travel arrangements and visa applications is recommended. Doing so will ensure everyone has enough time for all necessary preparations and won’t miss out on any special events before or after the big day!
